POSTLATES:
SSS Postulate (Side-Side-Side) If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Example: A B C E D F By SSS Postulate, ABC DEF
2. SAS Postulate (Side-Angle-Side) If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Example: B A C D By SAS Postulate, ABD CDB
3. ASA Postulate (Angle-Side-Angle) If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Example: A B C E D By ASA Postulate, ABC DEC
